If you dare to pronounce that “C” word (or rather the “CH” word as “CH” is an actual letter in the Czech alphabet) in front of a Czech/Slovak person you will probably witness an immediate “Pavlov-dogs” reaction, meaning that after just a few seconds their mouth will begin to water profusely, they may also start to drool really bad. Why? Because what a good cheeseburger means to an American, chlebicky are to a Czech. Chlebicky are Czech-style, open-faced sandwiches, but more exciting than the traditional American sandwich. What do you find in a sandwich? Ham, cheese, slice of tomato, and a peace of lettuce – very exciting, indeed (not!)! But chlebicky can be topped with pretty much anything under the sun…no strict rules there! There is however the traditional variation on this recipe which I will be presenting today:

Tanja, thanks for the cool webpages. Can you educate me a bit on flour types in US? Does the “hruba mouka” exist here? Or “polohruba”?. I made babovka with the all purpose flour, it isn’t the best result though. Diky!

Unfortunately, I wont’ be able to help you much with that I just usually bake with the all-purpose flour like what you do…However,I can give you a number of a bakery which can ship you any kind of flour you like!

Ok, why not! I was also told to check healthy food shops, so that is a mission for this week Not that I’m eager to bake something really soon, but I’m sure you know the excitement of discovering known stuff ; ) Thanks !
